The car starts OK. When its cold it runs fine for about one min and then it will not idel. I changed the plugs and wires did not make difference. I looked for the egr valve but could not find no pipe off the exhaust manifold.

Check the idle air control valve, check for vacuum leaks, if the check engine light is on, have the computer scanned for trouble codes.
